Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 124 Heavenly Demoness

"Was this puppet crafted by Fellow Daoist Su?"

Inside the spirit house, as Su Qing was feeling lost, Liu Yun'er threw out a puppet.

Su Qing looked closely and realized that this was the beautiful snake he had sold to Wei Debao.

Brother Debao was full of vigor and vitality, and I felt that he could resist the temptation of the beautiful snake, so I sold the puppet to him.

But unexpectedly, it harmed Brother Bao.

Fellow Daoist Wei, you died unjustly!

"To be honest, this puppet was indeed made by me, fellow Daoist."

It is hateful that Fellow Daoist Wei is so arrogant and unreasonable, forcing me to refine this puppet. I am weak and powerless and could not resist him, so I offended Fellow Daoist's holy face and refined this puppet.

Fellow Daoist, your killing of him is truly gratifying! This villain deserved to die long ago!

Su Qing gritted her teeth as she glared at the beautiful snake.

Seeing that he had confirmed that the puppet was indeed made by him, Liu Yun'er nodded slightly and said:
"That rogue cultivator Yun'er didn't kill him. He was quite sensible. When Yun'er appeared, he knelt down and presented the puppet along with the three witch puppets."

He explained to Yun'er that everything was refined by the fellow Daoist, which was why Yun'er was so eager to meet him a second time.

Wei Debao, you are utterly depraved and deserve to be torn to pieces, your heart and lungs rotting away!
Upon hearing that Wei Debao had betrayed her, Su Qing wished he were dead!

"I swear to you, fellow Daoist, I will never again use your sacred countenance to create any puppets!"

Su Qing pointed to the sky with his right hand, not hesitating to swear an oath to express his determination.

"Oh, that won't do. Yun'er wants you to keep up the good work and create a puppet just like her, with an aura, demeanor, and expression that no outsider can see any flaws in.

It's just that seeing it out in public makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Fellow Daoist, you just need to promise Yun'er that you won't order it out anymore!

Liu Yun'er pointed to the beautiful snake and the witch puppet, and shook her head slightly as she spoke.

Clearly, neither of these two puppets satisfied her; one was merely a shell of her, and the other, though capable of movement, did not move in a way that resembled her.

Su Qing, however, now understood what the witch was trying to do.

She's going to create a witch's substitute!
She set her sights on me for this very reason!

After figuring it out, he was no longer as panicked as before.

"Please be aware, fellow Daoist, that if you wish to create a puppet that is exactly the same as your true self, it is difficult for anyone other than a second-tier puppeteer to do so."

Furthermore, one needs to master three-tier bionic runes, three-tier intelligent runes, and three-tier immortal runes simultaneously, and must have Foundation Establishment Pills to simulate the aura of Foundation Establishment.

That's not all. One must also be intimately familiar with every smile, gesture, expression, and word of your fellow Daoist, and even know the fundamental Daoist arts and some of their abilities, in order to completely imitate them. It's no simple matter.

Hearing Su Qing slowly and methodically explain the difficulties in refining the witch's substitute, he felt a surge of joy.

Liu Yun'er was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, her gaze towards him brightened even more.

"Yun'er really didn't choose the wrong person. Fellow Daoist, you've thought of everything so thoroughly. Could it be that you already had the idea of ​​creating a real Yun'er?"

"How dare I! I only have a little knowledge of puppetry, and I would not dare to have any improper thoughts about you, fellow Daoist!"

The witch's temperament was unpredictable, and Su Qing answered with extreme caution. He couldn't possibly tell her that he had the witch's puppet blueprints, which perfectly met her requirements.

"Regardless, Fellow Daoist is the most suitable person Yun'er can find right now. I wonder if you are confident that you can complete the creation of this puppet within two years?"

Liu Yun'er's smile remained unchanged; she was still so stunningly beautiful and captivating.

But Su Qing was on high alert, knowing that if she said anything negative, he would be useless to her and might die on the spot.

In fact, while his physical health might be poor, his puppet-making skills were still quite good.

"Now that you have taken notice of me, I will do my best and vow to improve my skills within the next two years until I can meet your needs."

However, you will need to prepare the necessary materials for crafting this puppet, fellow Daoist. I am weak and poor, unlike you, and these materials are far too rare and valuable, exceeding my capabilities!

Seeing his quick agreement, Liu Yun'er smiled with satisfaction.

“That is so. Fellow Daoist, please write down the materials you need. Yun’er will prepare everything for you within the next two years!” the witch said generously.

Su Qing, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with her. She wrote down some materials on a piece of paper and handed them to her.

"Jade Crystal Monsters, three in total."

Three sets of black fox fur.

Three bottles of Spiritual Essence Liquid.

Three bottles each of the three tiers: bionic, immortal, and intelligent.

Foundation Establishment Pills, three?

Liu Yun'er's voice gradually lowered. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her wealth was far beyond what Su Qing could compare to.

However, apart from the three bottles of Tier 3 talisman water, none of the materials Su Qing needed were easy to obtain.

The so-called Jade Crystal Monster is a Jade Spirit Crystal that has developed sentience, and is thus called a monster. Once it takes shape, it has the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, making it difficult to deal with, and its value is immeasurable.

The fur of the Xuanli is also the fur of the second-tier demon king, Xuanli King. Although this demon king is not hard to find in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, he can change at will and is skilled in escape techniques, making him very difficult to capture.

Foundation Establishment Pills are even more difficult to obtain. These are pills that are strictly controlled by the major immortal kingdoms. Even with her status in the Desire Demon Immortal Kingdom, it would not be easy for her to obtain three Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect.

"Fellow Daoist Su, why do you need three sets of each material? Would one or two sets be feasible?"

Liu Yun'er frowned, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"It's not that I'm deliberately asking for more materials. Fellow Daoist, you should also understand that puppet crafting is not a guaranteed success. My skills are not yet sufficient, so it's hard to say what the success rate will be."

To ensure the fulfillment of your request, fellow Daoist, three sets are the minimum required. In fact, I wouldn't even dare guarantee a success rate of over 30%.

Su Qing spoke earnestly, and these words were from the bottom of her heart.

He dared not say how high the success rate would be for a second-tier Heavenly Demoness; he would only know after he met all the requirements.

He's already telling the witch to prepare three sets, which shows he knows the materials aren't easy to gather. He's afraid that if he pushes her too far, she might be ruthless and say she'll give him less than he should.

In fact, if Liu Yun'er herself were not a Foundation Establishment cultivator and not someone whose appearance was beyond the reach of ordinary people, then anyone else would have chosen a slightly inferior material.

For example, the Jade Crystal Monster could be replaced by the Lotus Bone, but if he revealed this, Qinghe would be in danger. So why bother?

Liu Yun'er looked at the materials, pondered for a long time, and then her expression turned serious.

"Alright, three sets it is. Within two years, Yun'er will deliver these materials to you. Please don't disappoint me then!"

"Of course, of course, shall we go back now?"

Su Qing readily agreed and was about to make his escape, without even asking the Sky Roc Ship a single question.

"Is Fellow Daoist so afraid of Yun'er? Yun'er saw that you were touching her quite comfortably just now, and thought that you wanted to spend more time with Yun'er!"

Seeing Su Qing's cautious demeanor, Liu Yun'er chuckled softly.

"Fellow Daoist's holy countenance is like the bright moon and colorful clouds in the sky, while I am like a firefly on the ground. I dare not linger by your side, lest I offend you and defile your holy countenance!"

Su Qing said politely.

But Liu Yun'er did not give him a chance to escape.

"Regardless of what fellow Daoist says, you should still spend the next two weeks here with Yun'er!"
Didn't you say that to bring Yun'er to life, one must master her every word, action, expression, and gesture?

"In the next two weeks, I'll have to give you a good look, fellow Daoist."

That foul mouth!

It should be torn up!

Upon hearing Liu Yun'er's words, Su Qing wished she could slap herself twice across the face a moment ago!
